"Hoo..."
Rubbing his temples again, Li Ke's mind finally cleared up a bit, but he felt his head was burning hot. Clearly, this was caused by the skill book.
"Won't it shorten my lifespan?"
Li Ke was a little worried, but if given the chance again, he would use it without hesitation.
The reason was simple: now, with his eyes closed, he could easily sense the wind direction around him and objects within a three-meter radius.
This feeling was quite amazing, and the louder the object, the easier it was to sense.
But it wasn't omnipotent. To be precise, Li Ke had only learned this skill. He could sense what seemed to be nearby, and when something was rapidly approaching, closing his eyes allowed him to sense it even faster.
It was very blurry; he could only sense it.
For someone like Kiri, who already possessed extremely high sensory abilities, Li Ke didn't know to what extent this skill amplified her, but for him, it was very powerful.
Because he felt that after learning this skill book, his reaction time had increased, especially when he closed his eyes and focused on his senses; his reaction speed was even faster then.
If he were to allocate skill points to Agility now, his speed should become considerably faster.
However, all of this came from the system of the 7 Days to Die world, meaning that others could also obtain it and become stronger than him.
This made Li Ke quite melancholy, and he couldn't help but open his system panel.
"So, what's the point of my built-in cheat system?"
His system seemed utterly useless, offering nothing except telling him that he was vying for dimensional control.
Moreover, the Dimensional Lord skill from 7 Days to Die also originated from this world.
The Endless Traveler skill, whether from this world or not, was something useful, but currently practically useless.
However…
Level: 1.
Dimensional Lord of the 7 Days to Die World (32%).
Endless Traveler LV1 (35%).
Energy: 495.
"It's already increased to 32%, but I don't feel anything at all. And how do I even level up to level 1? If it's by killing monsters, then why can't I level up even after killing so many zombies?"
Li Ke glanced at the Dimensional Lord's progress bar, somewhat astonished. He'd only survived the zombie horde here; was this considered exploring a dimension?
Or was this world, as he expected, getting progressively more difficult?
Furthermore, he was very concerned about that level 1. He really didn't understand how he could increase it. He had a premonition that as long as he could raise the level on this system panel, he would obtain the extraordinary power he dreamed of.
"What a bunch of mysteries."
Shaking his head, Li Ke stopped thinking about these questions and looked at Kiri.
Watching Kiri pull out one outrageous item after another from her package, Li Ke genuinely envied Kiri's incredible luck. But without such luck, Kiri probably wouldn't have been able to survive in that dangerous lawless zone.
He stopped watching Kiri, who seemed to be searching for treasure, and headed towards Tsunade.
When Li Ke found Tsunade, she was using steel pillars and system blocks to construct something near their base. She wasn't adding anything to the already well-developed suspended house; she was simply building a high wall five meters outside the suspended structure, intending to enclose their structure.
This was something only Tsunade could do easily, because only she didn't have to worry about falling.
Tsunade worked quickly. By the time Li Ke arrived, she had already completed the system framework. All that was left was to attach the steel pillars one by one to create a series of fortified fortresses. While it wouldn't ultimately stop the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, it would at least delay the zombie's invasion.
Seeing Li Ke arrive, Tsunade stopped, jumped to his side, pointed to the merchant's territory—a place the system blocks couldn't possibly contain—and spoke.
"I plan to use my superhuman strength to nail some steel plates together and build a single structure across the merchant's territory, then cover it up for you. That way, the zombies can't directly crush this suspended building, reducing their psychological pressure, and the defense will be much more solid. You won't have to worry about being directly attacked from above."
Tsunade sighed somewhat; she had been afraid the building would collapse that day… In fact, Li Ke and the others were also afraid of that, so Tsunade planned to solve this problem.
She had repaired the previously breached underground base passage, and in a way that completely blocked it off.
In her plan, the zombies would have to dig through three layers of steel plates to threaten their suspended building and her newly dug underground fortifications.
"Well, thank you. After all, nobody knows what we'll encounter next."
Li Ke nodded, looking at the foundation Tsunade had laid. However, just as he was about to say something more, a feeling he'd never experienced before suddenly enveloped him, making him realize something.
Danger!
Li Ke reacted immediately, looking towards the spot where he sensed something was wrong. The next moment, he saw a vulture, seemingly skinless and featherless, swooping down, its sharp claws aimed at his eyes!
Almost instinctively, Li Ke pulled out a machine gun from his inventory, instantly turning the vulture into a bloody pulp. But this wasn't the end. Li Ke clearly saw a large shadow rising from the forest in the distance, advancing towards them!
Not only that, the clouds on the horizon looked strange too!
After the zombie army, now an army of vultures?!
Without hesitation, Li Ke hoisted the limp Tsunade onto his back and shouted to the side, "Kiri, come back!! Enemy attack!"
After saying that, Li Ke carried Tsunade towards the entrance of their floating house. Just as he was about to take Tsunade back to meet Kiri, the roar of an engine suddenly erupted behind him.
Before he could react, Kiri sped past him on a motorcycle!
Yes! A motorcycle!
Li Ke saw it clearly! A motorcycle with a very wasteland style!
Wait, you can even drive that?!
Li Ke's mouth dropped open in surprise. The next moment, Kiri, who had landed in front of him, pulled out two machine guns and opened fire on Li Ke's back. Li Ke didn't even need to look; he knew it was a large flock of vultures attacking!
"Get in quickly!"
Kiri covered Li Ke as he led Tsunade into the house, then immediately closed the door. Li Ke put Tsunade down and quickly went to block the firing port, but...
He saw a red meteor fall not far from them, revealing a panting Rias inside, and a bewildered Lux.
And following them were countless zombie-like birds.
Clearly, Rias had come for help.
